BOTTLE-HNDLENG DFVGE To all whom it may concewr:

Be -it known thatl, HANS HILLMANN, a citizen of Germany, and residing at Alton,

. in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle- Handling Devices, of which the ollowingis a specification.

'lhis invention relatesto a bottle handling device, and more particularly, to a device designed for use as an adjunct to and adapted to receive the bottles from a bottle forming machine so as to assemble'the bottles in order to-vpermit their transportation to theleer. y A

lin the manufacture of glass bottles, these bottles are discharged in rapid succession from a. bottle `forming machine and they must then be transported to the leer in order to be annealed. The bottles as discharged from the bottle Jforming machine are, hovvever, too hot to be handled and` they must, therefore, he allowed to cool somewhat. *ln order to permit a number ot these bottles to be transported by means of the usual paddle or tong, they should beA assembled in order that quite a number may be picked up at the same time. These bottles are discharged from the bott-le forming machine top down and the bottle handling device, must, there? fore, invert the same lso as to deliver them in assembled form with the necks up.

One of 'the objects of this invention, t-heretore, is to provide a bottle handling device which will receive the bottles successively from a bottle Jforming machine, invert the same, allor;r them to cool for a short period 4and assemble them in a row so as to permit quite a number of the assembled bottles to be readily taken by a paddle or tong and transported to the leer.

Another object is to improve the device as to details and more particularly to provide improved* inverting mechanism, placing mechanism, cooling mechanism, .take-oli mechanism and assembling mechanism.

Another object is tol improve the device generally so as to simplify the construction and render its operation more efficient and edective.

Further objects will appear from the detail description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 2; l l r Figure 1'1 is a section on the line l1--ll, Figure l0 and Figure l2 is an enlarged detail section on theline 12-l2, Figure l.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, and more particularly to Figures 1 to 5 inclusive, 1 designates a trough attached to the bottle forming machine into which the bottles are delivered from the bottle torming machine in an inverted position and 2 and 3 are brackets attached to the bottle forming machine, 4only a 'fragment ot bracket 3 being shown.

The bottle handling device comprises a frame t consisting ot spaced side members held in spaced relation in any suitable manner', as by collars orv brackets and connected by bolts. A This trame is provided at one end with a shank 5 clamped between the side members and'pivoted in a bracket 6 attached to a shank 7 secured in the bracket 2 of the bottle forming machine. Secured intermediate the ends ofthe frame is a shank 8 which has a telescopic connection with a` support 9 bearing at its'lower end casters or rolls 10 rolling on the licor. The shank is secured in the support by one or more set screws 11 so that the A' height of the frame may be readily adjusted. The pivotal connection of the frame with the bottle 'forming machine is through the medium ofthe shank 5 which is concentric with' the point of delivery from bottle forming machine o c 1 n may be swung to any desired position, but always remain in the proper cooperative relation with respect to the bottle forming machine. v

The actuating mechanism.

' Mounted in the bracket 3 of the bottle forming `machine is a shaft which is driven from the bottle forming machine. This shaft has mounted thereon a crank 16 which' has pivoted thereto a bracket 17 connectedto one end of a chain 18. This chain passes partially around the circumference of a head or carrier 19 mounted for oscillation on a shank 20 on the frame and which conf stitutes a continuation of the shank 5 and this chain is attached to a rib 21 on the carrier. The carrier has a reduced portion 22 of cylindrical form around which passes a pair of chains 23, secured similarly as the chain 18, and the free ends of these chains y are connected to a bracket 24 on-a sliding actuator 25 supported in bearings 26, 27 and 2,8 along the frame 4.

This actuator is encircled by a spring 29 bearing at one end against a collar 30 fixed to the actuator and at its other end against a lug 31 loosely encircling the actuator, and formed on one end of a bar 32 extending along the frame. This bar has a notch 33 engaging a block 34 on the frame and is maintained in position laterally by a guide 35 spaced from the frame. The bar 32 has a handle 36 whereby, it may be operated. i i

' Duringthe operation of the machine, rotation of the crank 16 will cause oscillation of the carrier 19, which in turn will transmit the movement to the actuator 25 through the medium of the reduced portion 22 of the carrier and the chains 23. Now it lwill be noted that the spring 29 will be placed un- ,der tension during ,the movement of the actuator in one direction and will return, the actuator. The lug 31 'on the bar 32 will, however, form an abutment while the block 34 engages 4th Anotch 33, but if this abutment is released, by lifting the handle 86 swinging the ba'r about the lug 31 as a pivot (it being understood that vthe lug has a loose connection/with the actuator), the tension ofthe spring'29 will be relieved so as to fail to return the actuator with the result that this actuator is rendered ineffective for operation.

The bottle 7L/verter. i

`Referring more particularly to Figures 6 to 9 inclusive, and also 1 to 4 inclusive, the carrier 19 yhas mounted therein a head 40 which is monted for rotation on theV shank 20. The carrier and the head have reduced hubs which are encircled by a spring 41 inside of the-carrier and connected at one end to the carrier and at its otherend to the headgso as to establish a torsional yieldfor this spring e ing connection between the head of the carrier. i'

The head has mounted thereon a bracket 42 carrying a bearing 43 upon which is pivoted a ba'r or support 44. Mounted on this 'bar or support is a receiver `45 which may be of sheet metal which is closed at one en and open at the other, the closed -end being provided with a stop 'or buffer 46 of asbestos or the like. The receiver has a guide 47'engaging the support 44 and slidable therealong, and in order to secure it in any position of adjustment, the guide 47 is provided witha latch 48 adapted to en gage any .one 'of a number of recesses 49 in the support. The receiver, therefore, is

adapted to rock about itstransverse aXis on the support, while itis mountedto rotate -with the. support on the head 40 and the carrier 19. -T he closed end of the receiver with the projecting support causes this receiver to y normally stand by gravity withits closed end down andduring any rotative Inovement with the receiver inthat position the bar or support 44 slides on a circumferential esl cam 50 mounted on abracket 51 ,which is Whenthe receiver is in the position shown-in Figures 4 and 6, with its open end cooperating with the spout 1, the support 44 will rest on the cam 50 in` a downwardly inclined position. At this time the head 40 will be arrested by engagement of the "bracket 42 with the stop screw 54 and the spring 41Y will yield to permit excess movement of the carrier 19. This will accurately aline the receiver with the the bottle forming machine in inverted posi-- ltion wili slide down the spout 1 and into the receiver with the neck end 'abutting against the closed end of the receiver. Thereafter upon 'return oscillation of the carrier 19, the

spout 1 -sothat the bottle discharged from receiver will be oscillated 4therewith from the position shown in Figures 4 and 6 to the position shown in Figures 2 and 7. This will cause the cam roll 55 to engage the cam 50 thereby,A swinging the receiver support and the receiver thereon down so that the open end of the receiver now inclines downwa'rdly thereby discharging the,4 bottle therein with its end down into the placer herein after to b e described. The receiver, therefore, receives the bottle neck down, then -inverts it and delivers it end down tothe placer.

ineaeee The placing mechants-m.

Referringto Figures 1, 2 and'4, 60 designates a pair of arIns pivoted at their lower ends on the trame 4 and connected by a plate 6l upon which are adjustably mounted a pair of guides 62 so as to 'receive the bottle from the inverter. bracket 26 to the cooling table, hereinafter to be described, is a guide or support 63 for g thelower end of the bottle. The arms 6()y are connected by links 64 to a pair of cranks 65 liXed to opposite ends of a. short shaft mounted to rock in a. bracket 66 fixed to the' actuator 25. Oneor both of the cranks 65 are connected by a spring 67 to an extension 68 on the bracket 6 During the operation of the machine, the actuator 25 will, through the connections described, oscillate the arms 60 so as to move the placer from the position shown in Figure 2 to. the position shown in Figure 4 and back. The mechanism isso timed that the placer will be in the position shownin Figure 2 when the receiver is inverted to deposit the bottle thereinand thereafter the placerl moves the bottle along the guide 63 so as to place itcn the cooling table.` rEhe cooling table is as hereinafter described provided with stops and in order to permit the bottle to be accurately placed in engagement with a' stop, the'yielding connection including the `spring 67, is provided between the actuator 25 and the placer.

The cooling table.

Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 12, 70 designates a carrier which is provided with a hub 71 mounted for rotation on a stem 72 which stem is mounted in the frame 4 and forms a continuation ofthe shank 8.l The carrier is provided with a series of recesses 'Z3 (Figure 12) receiving a series of facings 7 4 of asbestos which are secured` by screws 75. These facings form bottle seats and it will be noted that the lrecesses and the facings-inclinedownward towards the axis of thecarrier so as to position the bottles on the vseats with the tips inclined towards the axis. This prevents the bottles fromtipping over on account of the centrifugal torce caused by rotation of the carrier..

The carrier has mounted thereon a series of arms 76 adapted to receive the shanks 77 of radial gages 78, the shanks being clamped vin the arms by set screws 79. These gages ,Extending from the i hub 7l and the support 81 being threaded to receive a clamping screw 84 engaging the segmental slot 85 in the support 80; The support 81 is further threaded to receive a screw 86 which Vpasses through a segmental slot 87 in the support 80. 'lhe supports vhave radially projecting arms each' carrying guides 88 and 89 respectively, these guides bein adapted to engage the necks ot the bott es on the carrier, itbeing noted that tor every seat there is a pair ot guides comprising a guide member on one support and a guide member on the other support. These lguides are of resilient construction so as to yielding-ly engage the necks of the bottles.

By loosening the set screw 83, the supports llt) 80 and81 may be concurrently raised or lowered by manipulation of the screw 86 so as to adjust the guides to different heights of bottles and after the,l adjustment has been completed, the supports are locked in adiusted position by means of the set screw 83. i

n order to4 adjust the guides to bottle necks of different diameters, the clamping screw 84 is loosened and the supports 80 and 81 can' then be rotated relatively in order to spread or jcontract the resilient guides 88 and-89 and after the adjustment hasf been completed, the parts are locked in the position ofadjustment by tightening the clamping' screw 84. v

rI'he periphery of the carrier is provide with a series ot' teeth 90 in number corresponding to the number of bottle seats, adapted to be engaged by a spring pressed pawl 91 on a lever 92 pivoted on the shank 72. rllhe arm 92 has a radial slot 93 in which lll) lltlll slides a block 94 on one end of a link 95, the

other end of which is pivoted on'a block 96 on the actuator A25.\ Adjustable in the slot 93 are a pair oi' stops 97, and 98, each of which comprises a bcrlt passing through the slot and provided at its lower end with' a nut. lnthis way, the stops may be adjustedl along the slot and locked in any desired position of l adjustment.

Mounted on` a bracket 99 on the frame 4` is a stop pawl engaging the teeth 90 so 'as to prevent retrograde movement of the carrier. Mounted also on this bracket 99 is a yielding brake shoe l101 connected by a spring 102 loosely with the arm 92.

During 4the operation of the machine, the.-

lic

lac

' actuator 25.

l'only loosely bear against the carrier. During the latter part of the movement ofthe carrier, however, the tension of the spring is placed on the brake shoe so as to firmly move this brake shoe into engagement and,`

therefore, brake the movement of the carrier so as. to retard it, stop it and prevent it from overtlirowing. This tension is maintained until the pawl carrying arm moves nearly back to original position. The -carrier is moved successively in the ldirection of the arrow, Figure 8, step by step soas t0. move the bottles from the point of entrance to the point of delivery to the assembling table at which point the bottles 4are taken olf and delivered to the assembling table in the manner hereinafter to be described.

It will be noted that the block 94 has -an idle movement` so that the arm 92 is only moved at the ends of the movements of the T he carrier is, therefore, maintained at4 rest` for a considerable period. Moreover this enables the movement of the table to be also adjusted. This is not only.

' advantageous for initial adjustment but` it y also enables the carrier to be given a double movement through the distance between two bottle seats. This is advantageous where it isdesired to speed up the machine to double speed and more' particularly where the cooling period is to be decreased for certain classes of bottles which is desired shall not coolfor such an extent.

The assembling tabl-e and take-07?'. Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 and 11,

lmounted on thebra'cket 99 and on a similar bracket 105 is a table'106 provided with a lair ofzguides 107 'arranged for lateral ad.- justment `on the table to provide a guidei" way extending radially from the cooling n table.

table. The' guides 107 are flared at the entrance to the assembling table as shown at' .in adjusted yposition by means of a set screw 111. The parts are so constructed that when the cooling table comes to rest, one of the bottle seats will be ositioned opposite the entrance to the assem ling table as shown in Figure 1 so as to permit a bottle to be readily conveyed from the cooling table to the assembling table.

Mounted to slide in the brackets 99 and 105 is a bar 112 which is encircled by a spring 113 bearing at one end egainst the bracket 105 and at its other end against a collar 114 on the rod.- 'Fixed to the bar 112 is a block 115 which carries an arm 116 having` adjustably secured to its .upper end a slide 11-7 carrying a plate 118 faced with asbestos or any other suitable material adapted toact as a buffer. The plate 118 extends across the coolinof table at the entrance of the assembling table so as to be behind a bottle positioned on the cooling table at that entrance. The lower end of the arm 116 is normally arranged in the path of a lug 119 on a collar 120 fixed to the' actuator 25. The

linside lower face'of the arm 116 cooperates with a bevel 122 on a bracket 123 adjustably mounted on the frame f1. The lagging face of the lug 119 is furthermore beveled as shown at 121. laterally from the bracket 28 is a resilient plate 124 which terminates and aresat its free end opposite the cam face 122, but the body thereof extends parallel to the side face of the frame. i

The brackets 105 are mounted for vertical adjustment being secured. by screws 125. The slide 117 is furthermore adjustably mounted on the upper end of the arm 116 and secured' by screws 126. A light spring 127 .encircles the projecting end of the bar 112 and bears at one end aga'inst a collar 128 on the,bar and at its other end against a stirrup 129, one of whose ends encircles the bar and the other of whichhas passing therethrough a bolt 130 passing` loosely vthrough the bracket 105 engaged by' a winged nut 131 and encircled by a spring 132.

During the operation'of the machine, re.

Mounted on but outstanding'l ciprocation of the actuator 25 will cause reciprocation of the take-olf 118. Assuming that thev take-offl rests behind the bottle on the cooling table at 'the entrance toI the assembling table, at this time the, actuator will be in its right position and thelug 119 thereon will be behind the lower end-of the arm 116 on the take-ofn'this arm being at this time held in the path of the lug by gravity and by the -resilient guide 124 bearing thereagainst. As the actuator 25 i moves forward or to the left Figure 2,'the take-olf will be carried with it thereby placing the spring 113 undertension. This movement causes the takeoff to engage the bottle on the cooling table as shown in Fig- -ure 1 so as tomove this bottleonto the assembling table, the neck passing out of engagement. with the guides 88 and 99 and ist i' such operation. `The Aparts 'will then be inA o this time is in the position shown vin Fig- A' .-f during such pl-acingof the'bot'tle. The bot- Lacasse Figuref2. "At this time, the lower 'end of the arm 116 will have engaged the inclined ace on the bracket 122 thereby swinging the lower end of the arm to thel lett Figure 11 carrying with it the bar 112 so as to move this bar out of engagement with the tooth 119. The spring 113 which has beenr placed under heavy tension will now operatel to immediately'return the take-oil to normal position Figure 2 and as it does so,

' the lowerend of the arm 116 will drop by iti gravity and engage the flaring' end of the guide 124 and return this arm to normal position in the path of the lug 119. As the actuator 25 now returns carrying the tooth 119v with it, the `inclined face 121 on the lagging-side of the tooth will engage the arm 116 causing' it to swing so as to permit this lug to pass onto the other side of the arm, thespring guide l124C yielding during position for repeated operation.

lt will, therefore, lbe seen Athat the takeod is moved in one direction by the actuator, released and caused to return by a "spring which has been placed under tension.

The -leaf spring 124 also acts as a brake. lt Willfurther be noted that the takefotl operates in a direction along the `f assembling table so as to move the as sembled bottles in a row by engagement of the last placed bottle therewith Rsum of operations.

Y A ln the general operation-of this device,

the bottles are successively delivered from the bottle forming machine neck down into the spout or trough 1. They then slide suoces'sively -down into the receiver which at ure 4. The receiver then turns and rocks thereby throwing the bottle with bottom*V down into the placer which at this time is inthe position shown in `Figure 2 ready to r' receive it. The placer now moves the bot,

` tle along the inclined guide 63 so as to-position it on the. cooling table and on one of .the inclined: bottle 'seatstliereon against the adjustable stop,"'the connections yielding tle--i'snowfcarried along with the table dur# ingiits' intermittent movement, the period depending uponfthev nature of the work and whether a full cooling period or only The result is, therefore, that theA take-od is quickly returned so as to be in ltheV path of the next bottle moved in aline-A a part of a cooling period is desired. After the bottle on the cooling table seat, comes opposite the entrance to the assembling table, it will be in the-path of the take-od` and this ltake-olif will now operate to'place the bottle. on theassenibling table.v ln placing this bottle on the assembling table, the

last bottle placed thereon will push the preceding bot'tles along the table s o that a,l

number oit them will be lined up against one another on the assembling table, the bottles being sufficiently cooled at this time to prevent damage by their contact. After a suilicient number have been placed on the assembling table, the workman will insert a paddle or tong over the necks of a considerablenumber of these bottles arranged along the assembling table, lift 'them on and place them in the leer;

lt will, therefore, be seen that the invention accomplishes its objects. The bottles 'are successively inverted, placed, cooled while held separated and then assembled ready to be" conveniently taken ed and placed in the leer. llhe mechanism operates in timed relation so that the maximum speed can be obtained without any interference. It is obvious that various changes may be made in the details of construction Without departing from the spirit of this invention. v1t is, therefore, to be understood that this invention is not to belimited to the specic construction shown and described.
